I've had it since February 2002 with a Wilkinson tremolo. It's already been fretted with wider frets. it has a tinier sound and super sustain. It plays excellently, alder and maple on top create a noble sound that faithfully (beware of errors) transmits the original Duncany. We compared it in Muziker with a US female. for 50,000, it completely equaled them, and in addition, its sound was more harmonious, more penetrating. This test convinced me that I wanted to sell it - no accident!!! juro bencz
